Neopart LLC http://www.neopart.com The transportation industry's leading aftermarket parts distributors Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:51:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 http://www.neopart.com/2009/12/08/hello-world/ http://www.neopart.com/2009/12/08/hello-world/#comments Wed, 09 Dec 2009 02:02:53 +0000 admin http://www.neopart.com/?p=1 Transit systems across the country are facing unprecedented financial
challenges. Now more than ever systems must look for innovative solutions
to perennial problems, and this is why inventory management practices are
receiving some much needed attention. There is no better return on
investment than repairing a broken inventory management system.

The value tied up in inventory and eventual “write-downs” of obsolete parts
are obvious problems. Less obvious are the costs associated with
overpayment and poor availability of parts needed to maintain your capital
investment. These costs are more indirect but just as significant. The cost
to your organization and our industry of having additional fleet spares just
to cover for out-of-stock parts is staggering. On any given day there are
several billions of dollars worth of buses idled by parts not in stock.

Other inefficiencies – such as trained mechanics searching/waiting for parts,
purchasing professionals following repetitive and obsolete procurement
practices, or the warranty process not fully recovering proceeds from
vendors – add to the wasted costs.

We are currently engaged with a number of transit properties that are
evaluating, implementing or already reaping the benefits of comprehensive
parts management solutions. Since the 2007 acquisition of Neopart by an
investor group with deep supply chain expertise, Neopart has experienced
double-digit annual growth and established itself as the leader in providing
parts management solutions for the transit industry. Having over 30 years
of experience in the transit industry has enabled us to tailor solutions to the
unique needs of our transit customers.

Call to learn more about how we can give [Your Transit] a supply chain that
provides parts when their needed, at the best price, but without the wasted
costs.

several billion dollars of bus assets idle because parts
aren’t there when needed.

Take a look at the number of buses you have
down today. How much of your capital investment
is being wasted?

This is an unnecessary waste. A NEOPART parts
management program can give you high inventory
availability and keep your buses up and running.

Because we have served transits throughout North
America for over 30 years and have state-of-the-art
supply chain management systems, we can commit to
high availability rates.

hidden costs for a transit. How many buses do you
have down waiting for parts? What is the value of
capital investment sitting idle today? If you are like
most transits, it is a big, discomforting number.

A NEOPART parts management program provides a
supply chain that keeps your buses up and running.
We guarantee a high level of parts availability and
back that guarantee with consequences.

Make your large rolling-stock investment pay off
with unprecedented parts availability and higher
bus utilization.

think you might need. The buildup seems to make
sense in some ways – having a bus down and idle
because a part is weeks away is very expensive.
Unfortunately, that buildup eventually leads to a
large, painful and embarrassing write-off.
A parts management program run by NEOPART can
prevent your obsolete parts buildup. Because we
stock parts for a wide range of transits and have
state-of-the-art supply chain management
systems, we can optimize inventory levels.
We can also commit to high availability rates.

in uncollected warranty proceeds. Even if you don’t
know precisely how much is lost, you know the process
of fully collecting warranties is challenging. By having
a closer relationship with suppliers, working with a
wide range of transit systems and utilizing the
best tools, NEOPART is able to recover more
money for its clients.

A better warranty recovery process is an important
part of an overall parts management program.

Neopart has established itself as the leader in parts
management programs by possessing deep supply
chain expertise and over 30 years of transit
industry experience.
